I Am Invisible Covert and In Charge
Eyes think they see me.
They see nothing.
No one.
Some think they do.
I smirk at their ridiculousness.
I am invisible.
Ears think they hear me.
They do, but they do not get it.
My meaning is known only to me
Because what I really mean is held silent.
I cover up the real words,
Not trusting them.
I am covert.
Hand reaches out to shake mine.
I yell “Six feet!”
Pretending to be someone I am not
So they will not be able to get close.
I keep them away.
I am in charge.
